ATHENA THORNE: What’s Behind the Left’s ‘HOUSING CRISIS!’ Narrative? “This travesty is playing out across the country, in states red, blue, and purple. State legislatures, prodded by national and even trans-national organizations that purport to address the HOUSING CRISIS!!!, are passing laws designed to override local zoning authority in favor of empowering big developers to swoop in and save the masses from onerous housing costs.”

It never seems to work out that way, although the developers and the politicians usually seem to make out all right.
